SWIMMING CLASSES FOR CHILDREN

3 – 14 years old

More than just swimming lessons

At Penguins we believe that every swim lesson should be a meaningful, effective, memorable and fun experience for every child.
Your child will become an expert swimmer, thanks to our learning methodology; our teaching approach promotes the intrinsic motivation of all students by creating a caring, sociable, empathetic and professional environment which helps achieve great results in each swimming class.

The keys to our methodology

Connect with children to motivate them to the maximum. We want children to feel very comfortable in our classes, respected and motivated. That is why all our monitors are trained by a child psychologist in “Disciplina Positiva” (positive discipline).

Small groups and the teacher in the water. This configuration allows us to create a nice and safe environment with the children, with strong group dynamics. We can communicate without shouting and perform immediate correction to improve their technique.

Technical progress. The Penguins method allows children to progress quickly and improve their level of swimming as of the first day. Each swimming class is taking place every week: it is adapted to the level of each student and we constantly monitor their progress. Children are always 100% active in the water during the entire session (40 minutes long).

Our facilities. Designed for maximum enjoyment and comfort, specifically for babies, children and their families. Ideal water temperature for each age, and with the most advanced technologies for the health, well-being and safety of children. Cleaner, healthier water.

We want to offer the best swimming experience for babies: not only in terms of methodology and teachers, but also in terms of water quality and hygiene. We want our water to be the cleanest and healthiest possible, with pools with water without synthetic chlorine, impeccable hygiene and an ideal temperature for the little ones.
